This car is new to me, I purchased it and drove it home from Ohio to VT. The brakes are quite poor, high pedal effort and long stopping distances. The Calipers are from Lonestar Caliper Company and so is the master cylinder. All parts have Stainless steel sleeves. I do not know what Pads are in the calipers. The pedal stays firm but is just doesn't stop well. I bled the master cylinder & I have pressure bled the system and Gravity bled the system with no improvement. I can't get the brakes to lock up on dry ground.

My 4 speed transmission is leaking oil between the transmission and the bellhousing. I understand that its probably the shaft seal underneath the input shaft.
Does anyone know how to fix this without pulling the transmission out. I understand it can be done! Andy

I have just wrapped my side pipes in "header wrap" and it has been very effective so far. Does anybody know if this can cause any longterm problems due to keeping the heat in or anything else?
I am also thinking of using some type of "padding" under the carpeting and under the console...any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!!

Any info or tips on replacing the clutch pedal shaft on my '64.
The replacement part says it is a weld on fix. I removed the clutch pedal but have left the shaft in the brake pedal. Any thing
I need to know or little tricks would be greatly appreciated. I haven"t ordered any parts yet but can see I will need to order
shaft and four bushings, is that all or am I missing something else.
Thanks

I have a '65. I am considering doing a VBP suspension upgrade. I want to improve handling, but ride improvement will be just as important. I am looking for feedback from anyone who has done a suspension upgrade. Did you use VBP or another brand? Was the upgrade worth it, or would it have been better to stay with the stock suspension?

Is there any publication that will help me re assemble the headlight buckets. We stripped them for painting and I have purchased new bushing/seals and am looking to ger some guidance in the re assembly part of this project .Thanks Vic

I have a problem in that the inside rear view mirror on my 66 Coupe vibrates at speeds upwards of 75 mph. How do I resolve this problem. Wheel balance is not the problem, loose screws are not the problem. Help.....

I am restoring a '65 Vette that is missing the VIN plate (plate should be under the glove compartment). Need to find the VIN (on the frame/body) so it can be verified and vehicle registered with the DMV.

I am looking to put some everyday driving wheels on my 64. I have found Bolt-On KO reproductions from several people in the $1,800 range. I have also found a much nicer looking repro set on corvetteusa.com for $2900. I have not seen that set sold anywhere else. Does anyone have any experience with these or have recommendations?
